it surprised officials at the pentagon. he was holed up at the white house. he was supposed to be in florida. instead he's stuck at the white house because he shut the government down. he's been reacting to that on twitter, with the decisions that he made regarding personnel at the pentagon. and decided to push him out sooner than expected but it creates some instability over at the pentagon where they are dealing with the decision to withdraw troops from syria and afghanistan. they're grappling with a lot right now. on top of that they'll have this personnel change sooner than anticipated. >> laura, let's talk about patrick shanahan, a former boeing executive. you wrote his ascent is the very latest manifestation of the world's largest aerospace in the pentagon. boeing has won three multibillion dollar competitions for major department of defense programs. despite massive delays in delivering a new tanker fleet to the u.s. air force. should we be concerned about this growing overlap between former executives especially in the pentagon? >> yes. they are still

the watchdog group american oversight has now asked the attorney general to investigate the pentagon's failure to preserve these communications. weren't these officials responsible for the official records act for keeping any records of their critical decision-making and their calls during those days? >> andrea, this is another major concern, that obviously officials out of the trump administration were taking steps to make sure that the potential evidence involved in january 6th would not be there. i really do think that the justice department has to investigate the loss of this kind of critical evidence. it is -- there's no question that this wasn't done in a man why err that just kind of was bureaucracy doing what bureaucracies do. this was a deliberate effort to make sure that very important evidence regarding what the players were doing at the pentagon, at the secret service, and elsewhere were saying and doing on january 6th, all of which is very relevant to the investigation as to what happened. >> you're saying this was a cover-up. >> i don't think there's any question that whe
